I’m off-grid on holiday until August 8th. This means that any communications that come in before Aug 8th will be DELETED upon return. I do this for peace of mind on vacation, not because I don’t value what you have to say. No one wants to come back to an inbox of 2000+ messages.

Feel free to get in touch with my colleagues at Ushahidi and the iHub in my absence.

I won’t be responding to emails, and so that I’m not stressed about all the emails waiting for me upon my return, I will delete all of them when I get back. If it’s important, hit me up (resend) after October 4th.
